Things To Do
Garland Ranch Regional Park
It's where we got engaged so we're biased, but it's a wonderful place for a hike. Dog-friendly (obviously) and you can see the ocean from the peak of the park.

Pfeiffer Big Sur Campground
If you're a hiker, we're about an hour from Big Sur, so we'd recommend taking advantage of it. Big Sur has had a number of trail closures, so check AllTrails before you go. Grab a drink at Nepenthe after for more great views.
Monterey Bay Aquarium
A 10/10 amazing aquarium with very cute otters, penguins, and otherworldly jellies. Advance tix required.
Pebble Beach Golf Links
We're not golfers, but we get for those who do enjoy some time on the links this is definitely a course not to be missed.
Elkhorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve
